0Day 3 Venice - Today was the best day I have had with the camera in Venice. I stumbled upon this pretty cool spot where they keep all the gondolas overnight. Captured some pretty good angles and had no one around to bother me as it was early.
Then I headed off to the small island of Burano about 40 mins...

0Day 2 Venice - Today was slightly better as it was not as crowded in Venice like yesterday. I started off by getting away from the main area and headed to the island of San Giorgio Maggiore. I went into the church there which was pretty impressive and took the lift to the belfry. From there you can get 360 degree...

0Day 1 Venice - It's ok I won't hit you with any, "who left the tap running" jokes. I have arrived in Venice. Had a good trip from Lake Como but was sad to say good bye to Jennine and Luca. The train journey was quite good and I got to take in a lot of the Italian countryside. Unfortunately it appears I timed my run into...

0Day 4 Lake Como - Today was a great day here in Lake Como. Sadly, it is my last, but I did make the most of it.
It started off doing a quick job for Bellagio Water Taxis. Jennine had organised her friend Lesley to model for us along with Luca cruising out on one of his glorious boats. Lesley looked absolutely...

0Day 3 Lake Como - Today I grabbed a scooter and ventured right around the lake's east side. I went all the way down to the city of Como and stopped at so many little towns and villages I lost track of the places to name. I ended up stopping at Mennagio which is directly opposite Bellagio on the lake for lunch. Losing...

0Day 2 Lake Como - This journey just keeps on getting better and better! Today is my birthday and I began the day by seeing the gardens of the Villa Melzi in Bellagio. I could only describe it as walking through the garden of Eden. The photos I got in here will definitely be posted onto my website when returning...

0Day 1 Lake Como - Well it has been a long day travelling with 3 different modes of transport (taxi, train, ferry) but I have arrived at the breath taking Lake Como in the north of Italy, Bellagio to be precise. Approaching Lake Como via the train from Milan to Verenna I could see the snow capped Austrian Alps in the distance...

Here's the one thing that may surprise some - I ended up in Siena! What a beautiful city, here I am riding through the busy traffic without a clue where I am going, funny stuff. ...

0Day 3 Tuscany - Quite a varied weather patch today. From early morning to midday it was rain. Gave me a good opportunity to catch my breath, do some lens cleaning and relax a bit. Then from 12 to 4pm it was bright sunshine. That was my window of opportunity to get out on the Vespa and head to the high ground for some...

0Day 2 Tuscany - Today would have to rank up there as one of the best I have ever had in my life. I met Luca from Tuscany Scooters and he was my guide for the day. If you ever want to have the best fun along with the most awesome way to see around beautiful Chianti, then go see Luca. He takes great pride in his job,...
